Why is MIL coming to my house?
Hello ladies. Been on BBC about 5 years bow, dropping in in DWIL occassionally in the past 2. New SN just in case since this is a bit more sensitive than my usual posts. Quick bg: MIL did a CO of DH years back when he married from the "wrong" culture. I never met her, she made it clear she wad not interested. 6/7 years ago DH and I got married. SILs and BILs are all grown and think she's ridiculous. We have had a great relationship with SILs and BILs. I have been a little hurt about the CO, mostly for DH but no MIL drama in our marriage since we are completely CO and DH realized early he would have to let her be.
A year and a half into the marriage we had a little girl, wonderful time all round. We have never barred SILs from sharing info because we didn't think about it, MIL definitely must have known about the baby. Not a peep.
Now DD is almost 5. We are expecting, and recently announced to friends and family that we are having a little boy.
Tell me why SIL1 calls DH to tell her she mentioned our news in a convo with MIL. Apparently MIL is over the moon, and is coming over to "mend fences."
MIL has not called DH but is apparently on the way over according to SIL. DH called from work to say he will get home early. If this woman is truly on the way over I don't even know where to begin. Part of me says as soon as DD gets home from school we should bolt. Another part of me is curious to know what she has to say for herself.
I feel like after all these years, she should at least have started with a call or email, then politely asked if she could visit. If she's truly on the way, I have about 3 hours to come up with a game plan. Thoughts, o wise DWILERS?
